Example of a method for Linux to view all information about a process

There is a task process on the server, when we use ps-ef | grep task to view, we can only get 1 of the most basic information, if we need to know the corresponding file path, the full path of the boot command, there is no way to start.

Today I'm going to show you a way to see all the information about the process, including the full path of the startup command, the full path of the corresponding file, and so on: ES7en-ES8en /proc/PID

For example, when you view a process using ps-ef | grep webhook, you only get the following information


> ps -ef | grep webhook
root   15902   1 0 Aug15 ?    00:00:00 python -u src/webhook.py
root   30639 30612 0 22:50 pts/0  00:00:00 grep --color=auto webhook

Then execute ls-ES21en /proc/15902


> ll /proc/15902
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Sep 18 22:52 attr
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 18 22:52 autogroup
-r-------- 1 root root 0 Sep 18 22:52 auxv
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 18 22:52 cgroup
--w------- 1 root root 0 Sep 18 22:52 clear_refs
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Aug 15 16:48 cmdline
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 18 22:52 comm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 18 22:52 coredump_filter
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 18 22:52 cpuset
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 15 16:48 cwd -> /services/apps/webhook
-r-------- 1 root root 0 Sep 18 22:52 environ
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 15 16:48 exe -> /usr/bin/python2.7
dr-x------ 2 root root 0 Aug 15 16:48 fd
dr-x------ 2 root root 0 Sep 18 22:52 fdinfo
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 18 22:52 gid_map
-r-------- 1 root root 0 Sep 18 22:52 io
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 18 22:52 limits
...

There are several major documents we can focus on:

cwd: The directory where the files are located exe: The full path to execute the command environ: Environment variable at command execution time

Supplement:
